The newer Xboxes do not come with HDMI, but I have read literally tons of posts that mention a company called Monoprice, and they seem to be very cheap. The cable you almost got free would most probably be of a lower quality than the ones from that retailer. To be honest I would prefer to go the aftermarket route for connecting cables.

As for the data migration cable, I always have been lead to believe they are free. I've been on this and a number of other Falcon/Jasper hunting threads from the start and I have seen many times that people have got them free. There must be literally thousands of them sat around doing nothing as you only use them once. Therefore, if you can't go through the trauma of a call to the support desk, why not go through your friends list and ask those if they have one. You could even try putting the info in your motto eg "data migration kit needed!". Not saying this will yield anything, but worth a shot.

I bought a new Elite holiday bundle the other day. I called Microsoft for the Data Migration cable. They went through the whole process and never mentioned charging me. Then as the service rep was saying his good bye speech , he said Hold On. He came back and said I am sorry but you are going to have to pay for the migration cable. Nothing I could do or say would get it to me for free. $12.90 it was.

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
I dont know if this is happening to any one else, But my xbox360(JASPER arcade) with a 120HardDrive. The sound keeps going out. I will be playing any game(GOW2, GTAIV, NFSMW) and the sound will go away, Video will still be there but no sound. Tried 25HDMI cable and 6 diffrent HDTV. Have to go in the back of the tv and unplug and replug the HDMI and then i will get sound. everything else(Blu-Ray)(laptop) works fine on HDMI.

I am hopefully going to be getting a new Acrade Jasper this weekend, but will my current 60 GB hard drive work on it? I plan to transfer the content license from the old console to the new, then will I have to redownload all my stuff or will it all work fine as long as the content license has been transfered? Thanks for any help Smile [:)]

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
Would anyone know the chances of ordering a Jasper online? say from Best Buy or Gamestop. my 203w has surprisingly lasted since they first came out with only 1 rrod and now it freezes fairly often and makes loud noises when the disc spins the fastest. im thinking about ordering a new one so should go for it and hope for the best or not risk it and go to the store? (i'll defiantly go Elite) also do you think its safe to say the Batman/Pure bundles will all have Jaspers?

Why can't MS just put if a console is a jasper or not right on the box. Instead of having customers playing guessing games like this. It is like MS is deliberately trying to annoy people.

Ha, they would never do that and cannibalize sales of the older consoles. That's just good business practice. Don't make it obvious to customers that you're getting an older version of something - and to the majority of consumers there's no difference.

Cell phone companies do this specifically. They sell the oldest stock first.

Does anybody else find the fans loud on an Elite jasper?  There is a whirring/buzz from mine that is louder than my 3 year old 360.

monoprice makes the best cables you can buy, but they know what a wire is really worth so they don't (force themselves upon you) in the price. i have about 4 different types of cables from them, all perfect. a 22awg 3.5mm red/white rca for car to mp3 hookup, and optical digitals for surround sound.. you name it they have it.

nobody cares to mention what team JREY is yet?

just purchased a lot 919X CSON, has such a quiet drive.. wow. yellow wire behind the faceplate.. i believe it is benq/liteon.

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
Thats odd, because the fans are supposed to be considerably silent in comparison to the average tv audio...unless your compressing the console in a small space, the fans should not be louder than the fan in a common laptop computer.

Re: How to find a full 65nm Jasper console…
No doubt Best Buy did not like me, but I am on my 4th Elite.  Finally, I have a near silent Jasper.  Normally I can live with these things, but the first 3 were all louder than a 3 yr old Xbox and could be heard in the background even when watching TV.  Now I wouldn't even know it is on.

My question is, how can these things differ so much, especially when they are from the same team.  I really wish MS would splurge the extra $3 on decent fans for these machines.  Its the simple things that change perception of quality (look at PS3 owners).

Hey I think I found one

It was in the xbox 360 elite Holiday bundle with pure and lego batman.
MFR Date: 2009-08-05
12.1A
Sticker on box says:
Lot No: 0931X
XBOX360 ELITE CONSOLEBNDL OCT09 XBOX

I tried taking a few webcam pictures/videos but they were pretty blurry so I didn't bother with them. The lot number seems too low but the rest of it seems good. Any thoughts? It does look like it has the jasper plug, with the 6 main connectors, and the split top bar. It does have an HDMI port.

I'm in Minnesota and found it at the Maplewood Best Buy.

The question should be, why can't the companies making parts for MS do a better job.  You shouldn't have to baby sit every company, just to get a good part. People should know, that there are really nice quiet running 360 out there, if you get a noisy one, take it back and try another. 
My Elite, one of the first, and still working great, is also super quiet.

The PS3 uses the same Delta fan (only has one, 360 has two) that the 360 uses. The difference is in the size. The 360 has two 60mm fans, while the PS3 has one 120mm fan. Any 120mm fan compared to two 60mm fans is going to be a heck of a lot quieter.

The only important bit of information you require when sourcing a 360 Jasper is the Amp rating. If it is 12.1A, you have a Jasper.

Activision decided to "trial" the increase in price. Lets face it, sticking an extra £5 on a game that is gonna shift over 1 million units is a pretty simple way of adding £5m to your balance sheets. It is highly annoying (but obvious none the less) that they decided to do this on a game that is gonna shift by the truck load. I wonder if they would consider a "trial" on a title that was not so highly anticipated?

Jasper elites are not just the Resident evil ones now are they?
There are black jasper elites now too right?
The people who are saying their new elite is noisy are these the ones with the delta fans? Are nidec fans quieter?
Is there any way to tell which fans you have without opening the console and voiding your warranty?

Thanks.

But that is no good I already bought 2 of there shitty old consoles they have sent me numerous refurbs all old models all have died. I don't want to buy another one and fear that I will again get an old model. It is not good buisness practice. There is a difference if it dies again and again that is a difference. They should not be doing this kind of thing I can not afford to keep buying these stupid things.

AS for cell phone companies there old stock is not actually defective by design. It is downright criminal to sell old stock when you know the old stock is junk. Anyone mind telling me how I am supposed to get a new one with out all this BS. I can not go in stores and look at a ton of them that is not possible. For a reason I really don't want to mention but trust me it's a real good reason.

So how am I supposed to ever get a working one. My life is hard enough as most peoples life is without having to deal with this BS. I buy games for entertainment and escape my lifes problems for a bit not have more issues. Think about it this is the exact reason anyone buys games at all. That is there intended purpose is to give you something where you can just have fun for a bit and not worry about everything all the time.

Again I will say it this is not good business practice it's selfish. People calling it a good thing to do are part of the problem. I think someone purposely selling old stock they know is garbage should have criminal consequences. Companies caught doing that should get heavy fines and depending how bad it was jail time. MS would fall under the heavy fine category. Companies need to learn it is not all about them.

Also cannot buy a MW edition console cannot find one for sale or a place to pre order it or anything.

Do you know what they use to ship things? Reason being is I live in Canada if it is shipped UPS or FedEx or anything like that they overhcarge for brokerage fees. Although it may be worth it since Americain retailers seem to charge less then Canadian retailers do.

At any rate at least it's nice to know I can get once. Was starting to think it was another not available in Canada kind of deal. Then I could get the console I have now replaced with a refurb which I can sell on Ebay.
